Incite

Spent some time learning solely out of spite 
Trying to prove my brain had unlimited gigabytes
Looking for any chance to sling a slight 
Anxiety ridden, deep down filled with fright
Angst's a funny thing when you can't see it's site
Probably cause my father thought I was just alright
"Sensitive", and that's me being polite
Incite, took me sometime to grasp that insight
Hindsight, I'm happy for the plight
It helped me see the light
There's a garden beyond wrong & right
I'll meet you there, this is a formal invite 

I've always thought childhood is unfair
Taught so much before I could really think
Woke up scared if I forgot my prayers
This is the blood of Christ, take a drink
Think ill parent more like Laissez-faire
Teach them how to think, not what to think
